Even Small Businesses Contribute to September 11, 2001 Funds

Naperville, Illinois - October 4, 2001: The Kelley Consulting Company, Inc., a full-service marketing firm in Naperville, Illinois, will make contributions to The Twin Towers Orphan Fund. This fund was created in response to the tragedies affecting families and children in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington, San Francisco, and elsewhere by the national disasters of September 11, 2001. Funds are earmarked for the long-term well being of children that were made orphans, or lost a single parent. Fund donations collected will be used to provide those children with long-term educational and housing assistance, as well as mental and physical health care.

In addition to continued support of Breast Cancer Awareness Funds, The Kelley Consulting Company, Inc. will donate a portion of net profits to The Twin Towers Orphan Fund through September 11, 2002. The company is a member of the National Association of Women Business Owners, and an additional three percent of net profits resulting from sales to members of this organization will be donated to The Twin Towers Orphan Fund.

"I've been contributing to the Avon Breast Cancer Awareness Crusade and related funds for many years, primarily because I lost my grandmother to breast cancer", Kelley Brittain, president of the company, said. "I have a passion for helping young people and volunteering time to children's activities, so it makes sense to help those affected by the tragedies. Even though we're not a Fortune 500 company, we want to do our part in helping others."
